BÖRGER ROTARY LOBE PUMPS
ROBUST, RELIABLE AND
CUSTOMIZED
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Börger rotary lobe pumps are self-priming, valveless, positive displacement
pumps. The synchronized rotation of the rotor pair creates a vacuum on
the priming side of the pump. This vacuum draws the liquid into the pump
chamber. The medium is pumped into the pressure area due to the rotation
of the rotors. If the direction of rotation is changed, the flow is reversed.

CASE STUDY:
MOBILE VAT FILLING STATION
A large agricultural contractor uses a mobile vat filling station from Börger for filling their spreading vats. The
pump sucks the liquid manure through a Börger Rotorrake which macerates the solids. The on-board hydraulics
of the vat filling station is driven by the PTO of a tractor. There are three hydraulic circuits from the on-board
hydraulics which drive the pump, the Rotorrake and the extendable docking arm. The Piadin can be fed from the
200 l tank into the liquid flow by means of a dosing pump. In addition, ammonium sulphate solution or UAN can
be fed into the liquid flow from an external tank.

STATIONARY OR SUBMERGED
For pump system installations, the structural conditions plant site and re
quired accessories need to be considered. Börger offers complete solutions.
In addition to the rotary lobe pump itself, we also manufacture the pump skid
components.
The mounting position of the pump / drive combination are selected accor-
ding to plant requirements. Our rotary lobe pumps can be either driven by an
electric motor, a combustion motor, a hydraulic motor, or a PTO shaft of
a tractor. The rotary lobe pumps can be used as stationary, mobile or sub-
merged versions due to the flexibility and compact design of the pumps.

MOBILE PUMPS AND VAT FILLING STATIONS
Börger builds each mobile pump in line with customer's requirements.
The pumps can be installed on a three-point hitch frame, on a trailer, on
a hand cart or on a tanker truck. Börger supplies special pump systems
or mobile unit "turn-key". The design, metal construction and electrical
engineering departments meet any challenge.
Börger vat filling stations are used in many different versions. They are
mostly driven by the PTO shaft of a tractor. If media containing solids are
pumped, a macerator is recommended.

CASE STUDY:
SECONDARY CRUSHING IN A BIOGAS PLANT
A Börger Multichopper is used for secondary crushing of fermentation substrate in a biogas plant in Lower Saxony in Germany.
The operator of the plant uses a screw shaft to feed the biomass into the fermenter. In order to achieve higher gas yield and
remove impurities from the fermenter, the fermentation substrate is conveyed through the Multichopper by means of a Börger
rotary lobe pump. All impurities are separated in the foreign body separator of the perforated disk macerator. The agitating
effort in the tanks has been reduced and the gas yield increased by using the macerator.

PERFECT SEPARATION RESULT
BÖRGER BIOSELECT
The Börger Bioselect stands for efficient separation technology.
Using a purely mechanical process, liquid parts are separated from
solid parts in the medium (such as digestate or liquid manure).
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The media to be separated find their way through the inlet opening (1) into the vessel-like
Bioselect. The outer cylinder is separated from the auger (3) by a roundly sealed wedge
wire screen (2). The auger has a frictional connection to the drive. The imported liquid
flows into the screen area next to the drive. The liquid flows through the wedge wire
screen (2) into the outer vessel area. The liquid drains through the liquid outlet (4).
The solid contents remain on the screen surface. They are removed and conveyed into the
press channel (5) by the rotating auger (3). Powerful subsequent dewatering takes place
in the press channel (5). The rotating auger has a Multi Disc (6) (sealing disk), which can
be shifted in axial direction, at the non-drive end. The adjusting unit (7) presses the Multi
Disc against the auger and the compressed thick matter plug. When the thrust force of
the plug is greater than the spring force of the Easy Shift unit, a slot for discharging is
created by axial movement. A scraper edge is used to loosen and expel the solids.
5 3
MULTI DISC
Liquid penetration is impossible due to the Multi Disc techno
5 logy (6). Whether the desired DS content is at 15 or 38 %. The
Multi Disc (6) seals the press channel (5) as long as the re-
quired drying stage of the thick matter plug is achieved. This
is when the slot for discharging opens and the solid phase is
loosened and expelled – penetration-proof technology.

WHY
SEPARATION?
+ Saving of the storage capacities
during the waiting period
+ Separated solid is energy supplier and ferti-
lizer containing humus
+ Solid phase as bedding for cattle
+ Liquid phase is a fast-acting fertilizer and
runs down at the leaves and grasses
+ No etching damage to the plants as
the liquid phase directly enters
the soil

CASE STUDY:
BIOSELECT FOR SAVING STORAGE CAPACITY
In order to save storage capacity for liquid manure in the waiting period, a cattle farm uses a Börger Bioselect.
The farmer opted for a Bioselect because he can determine the DS content in the separated thick matter flexibly
with this kind of technology. The farmer uses a part of the separated solid phase as bedding for his cattle. For this
purpose, he sets the DS content to 32 %. In addition, he cooperates with a neighboring biogas plant which takes
the solid phase free of charge. For this purpose, the farmer sets the DS content to 20 %.

POWERFEED
PERFECT LIQUID FEEDING
TECHNOLOGY
The Powerfeed is used for feeding solids into biogas plants. The Powerfeed
technology is installed at an appropriate position in the pressure pipesystem.
The Börger dosing technology conveys the biomass into the flow pipeline in the
fully enclosed system.
The Powerfeed is available in three sizes and four different versions. This way, the ideal technology can
be offered for each plant. The Powerfeed is fed through the feed hopper in the basic version. The Power-
feed connect is fed from the side. The Powerfeed duo is a combination of a stainless steel
storage container (capacity of 5 to 15 m³).

CASE STUDY:
POWERFEED IN A BIOGAS PLANT
An operator of a biogas plant has been using a solids dosing feeder for feeding the biomass into the fermenter for several
years. The operator was looking for an alternative feeding technology due to the extension of the biogas plant and the very
high agitating effort. He opted for a Börger Powerfeed twin. The liquid feeding technology can be used for feeding tanks of
any number. In addition, they were able to use the existing technology to a large extent.
